North River Commission Seeks Interns

The North River Commission is the nonprofit community and economic development corporation for the Northwest Side of Chicago that is seeking interns for the year.

work schedule working with a staff lead or serve as a project intern where they work with a NRC staff member to establish a plan including duration and deliverables for that project.
